    *snort*

    For the record:
    * CoC is a piss-poor match for the structure of community
    * Linus had essentially tossed a live grenade into an outhouse on
    his way to vacation, with quite predictable results - all kinds of
    interesting coprophagous fauna dropping by to feed, including cartooneys
    of the sort I hadn't seen since NANAE days.
    * As idiotic gambits go, "try and revoke the license on my
    contributions, so that they'll have to revoke CoC" is... impressive.
    Sadly, my command of English has turned out to be woefully inadequate,
    and I can't even blame that on not being a native speaker; I'm just as
    incapable of producing a coherent (let alone printable) description of
    that cunning plan in any language, Russian included. I've tried. Really.
    * in case it needs to be spelled out: I am not at all interested
    in that kind of stunts. One of the reasons I thoroughly despise RMS
    and his bunch is the leverage game they tried to play with GPLv3;
    damned if I'm going to lower myself to their level.
